Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
This non-provisional application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. §119(a) on Patent Application No(s). 201310187587.7 filed in China on May 20, 2013, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference.
TECHNICAL FIELD
The disclosure relates to a server and a fixing assembly thereof, more particularly to a server having a fixing assembly.
BACKGROUND
The server generally comprises a housing, a motherboard, multiple storage devices and processing units. The multiple storage devices are essential for the server. For example, the internet service providers allow their clients to save large quantities of data in the storage devices inside the server so as to maintain clients' business information and operation. Thus, the servers' performance is directly related to the storage capacity of the storage devices. For this reason, the manufacturer in the industry is eager to increase the number of the storage devices inside the server. During assembly, the storage devices are locked on the housing by screws and are arranged side by side for accommodating more storage devices in limited space inside the server.
However, locking the storage devices into the servers by the screws is time-consuming and cost-inefficient. For example, the internet service providers need to spend more efforts locking or disassembling the storage devices by using the screws one by one, therefore, it is inefficient that the users spend extra costs on locking or removing the storage devices on the housing.
SUMMARY
An embodiment of the disclosure provides a server and a fixing assembly thereof comprising a storage module, a processing module, a motherboard and a fixing assembly. The storage module is used for storing data. The processing module is electrically connected with the storage module and the processing module is located on the motherboard. The fixing assembly comprises a carrier, a stopper, a tray, a first locking part and a second locking part. The stopper is securely located on the carrier. The tray has a bottom wall. The storage module is located on the bottom wall and is securely fixed to the tray. The tray has a first position and a second position relative to the carrier. The bottom wall has a fixing hole and the stopper passes through the fixing hole. The tray is located at the second position when the stopper engages with the tray through the fixing hole to make the tray securely attached to the carrier. The tray is located at the first position when the stopper releases from engaging with the tray, allowing the tray to be removed from the carrier. A first locking part has a first state and a second state and is securely located on the tray. The tray is able to move between the first position and the second position when the first locking part is located at the first state, such that the stopper is able to switch between engaging with the tray and releasing from engaging with the tray. A second locking part is securely located on the carrier. The first locking part cooperates with the second locking part to lock the tray at the second position when the tray is located at the second position and the first locking part is located at the second state.

 DETAILED DESCRIPTION
In the following detailed description, for purposes of explanation, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the disclosed embodiments. It will be apparent, however, that one or more embodiments may be practiced without these specific details. In other instances, well-known structures and devices are schematically shown in order to simplify the drawing.
Please refer to the FIG. 1, which is a perspective view of a server according to an embodiment of the disclosure. The server 1 of the disclosure comprises a storage module 10, a processing module 20, a motherboard 30 and a fixing assembly 40. For example, the storage module 10 is a HDD (hard disk drive) and the processing module 20 is a CPU (central process unit). The storage module 10 is used to store data. The processing module 20 is electrically connected with the storage module 10 for accessing the data stored in the storage module 10. The processing module 20 is located on the motherboard 30. The storage module 10 is located in the server 1 by the fixing assembly 40.
Please refer to the FIG. 2, which is an exploded view of a fixing assembly described in FIG. 1. The fixing assembly 40 comprises a carrier 41, a plurality of stoppers 42, a tray 43, a first locking part 44, a second locking part 45 and a plurality of fasteners 46.
In this embodiment of the disclosure, the carrier 41 may be a part of a housing of the server 1, but the disclosure is not limited thereto. For example, the carrier 41 may be a bearing plate inside the housing of the server, rather than a part of the housing. The motherboard 30 is located on the carrier 41 and the stopper 42 is securely located on the carrier 41. For example, the stopper 42 is riveted to the carrier 41. The tray 43 includes a bottom wall 431, two side walls 433 and a cantilever arm 434. The two side walls 433 extend from the bottom wall 431 and are connected with two opposite sides of the bottom wall 431. The cantilever arm 434 extends from another side of the bottom wall 431 which is different from the two opposite sides of the bottom wall 431. The storage module 10 is located on the bottom wall 431 and is located between the two side walls, and the storage module 10 is securely fixed to the tray 43. The bottom wall 431 has a fixing hole 432 and the stopper 42 passes through the fixing hole 432. The first locking part 44 is securely located on the tray 43.

The second abutment surface 4432 of the shift lever 443 is contacted with the top end 4421 of the base 442 and the first end 4411 of the latch rod 441 passes through the bottom end 4422 of the base 442 and protrudes into the second locking part 45 via the opening 451 of the second locking part 45, when the first locking part 42 is located at the second state, such that the tray 43 is locked at the second position. The cooperation of the first locking part 44 and the second locking part 45 limits the position of the tray 43 relative to the carrier 41 in a horizontal direction.
Compare the FIG. 3C with the FIG. 4C, the compression deformation of the elastic member 444 when the first locking part 44 is located at the first state is higher than that when the first locking part 44 is located at the second state. When the first locking part 44 is located at the second state and the tray 43 is located at the second position, the elastic member 444 presses the latch rod 441 to protrude into the second locking part 45, which forces the first locking part 44 to tightly cooperate with the second locking part 45 regardless of the external vibration.
According to the embodiment of the server, firstly the storage module is rapidly located inside the server. Then the tray is securely located on the carrier by the engagement between the stopper and the fixing hole. Next, the tray is locked at the position by the cooperation between the first locking part and the second locking part. When the storage module needs to be disassembled, the first locking part is switch from the second state to the first state, so as to be able to release from the second to not cooperate with the second locking part, and then the engagement between the stopper and the fixing hole is removed. In the wan above the tray may be removed from the carrier. Then the storage module and the tray may be picked to the outside of the server to remove the storage module from the tray.
